he looked more confident against Abraham, i mean he was opening up and whooping him early, and if he wasnt scared of abraham he needent be against ward.
The styles and attributes favored him so heavily there, he couldn't help but have a lot of success for the most of that fight 'til Abraham finally started gaining on him.
Dirrell will definitely give Ward some trouble, he's faster and rangier than Ward and showed against Abraham that he can box a disciplined fight so I give him a good chance of sprining an upset really. He also seemed to have the right gameplan in mind when he was talking to Jim Gray during the telecast.

The Dirrell that showed against AA has a good shot at Ward. If the guy that fought Froch shows up it will be another shut-out win for Ward.
Dirrell has the speed and power to bother Ward but I don't know how he will react if Ward takes the fight to the inside as he did against Green. Can Dirrell cope with that?

The Dirrell that fought Froch was a green contender, with no big fight experience, taking a step up in competition, title on the line in the holders backyard. Odds were stacked against him, plus going in with a puncher with a solid chin, a little confidence was lacked. That fight showed his coming of age. The latter rounds you could see a more confident Dirrell who gave more to Froch then he got in return (you could say that about the whole fight)
The Abraham fight continued this confidence, and i was impressed with him, especially considering again he was the underdog, going in with a huge puncher with a solid chin, and a fantastic defence. Before the controversial ending, Dirrell showed his capabilities against a dangerous opponent.
Against Ward, Dirrell is facing a complete different challenge. Ward seems to have shown more versatality and adjustments to his craft to break down his oppositions game, but Dirrell will be heading in as an underdog again, with the skill, speed and athletic ability to cause an upset. I'm rooting for Dirrell in this fight.
So am I to believe that you are calling Dirrell to be a challenge for Ward? Good call. Did you come up with that on your own? I would be more impressed if you went for the win, but to say he will give him trouble says nothing insightful at all. Sorry for the sarcasm, but this thread is seriously a joke.

Not sure who this post is aiming at, but if you're referring to me...then yes, i think Dirrell will beat Ward. I will be putting money down on this fight too.
